Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto… Sigh… Kishimoto-san, you're one hell of a fortunate man… I don't own neither Harry Potter! Damn… J.K. Rowling… Two of the richest persons on this world!
"Talking"
"Thoughts"
Wow! Nine reviews! And 164 hits! Very well! Ok, now, I need to explain something. Like the all Harry Saga, this story too will be divided in books. Not long as the original ones, of course! The first has name "The blood ritual". The story involves Voldemort as well. Ah! One more thing! Naruto doesn't wear the forehead protector, here! Now, let's answer the reviews!
Stormraven: Woah! So many questions... Well, Naruto will certainly meet the two sisters. The story takes place two years before the Philosopher's stone thing, in the 1997. So this will be the first year for Fleur too. Naruto will surely show his shinobi abilities, and for
the Kyuubi... Secret. And there's no law that prohibits using magic in the Elemental countries, and no one to control it. XD And remember... The Chunin exam takes place starting from the third of July!
Masderin, Dark Naruto: Naruto is veeeeeeeeeery upset! You'll see in this chapter! And of course, Naruto will eventually grow differently from the original plot.
Dairokkan: O.O Glad it makes you happy… Well, there's a reason because Naruto's wand is so short… Now you'll see.
Naruto placed a foot on the train, then something bounced to his mind.
"Mr Dumbledore… I was almost forgetting… What's the name of my school?"
"Ah, yeah… Your school has name Beauxbatons."
Naruto goes to… What? No Hogwarts?
Book1: The blood ritual
Chapter2: Naruto's troubles
"This is not happening… This is not happening… This is not happening…"
Naruto was alone in a cabin of the train. The cabin could contain four people, but Naruto was alone in it, holding the side of his head with his hands, trying to convince himself that it was all a bad dream. That soon he would wake up and see his messy house in Konoha. After all… It was impossible that he had been sent to an all girl-school… RIGHT?
Flashback
Naruto entered the train, which then started to move at high speed on the rails. Naruto stared at the moving surroundings out the window of the door for a few minutes, then he decided to take place in one of the cabins, to get to know new friends. He walked to a cabin, and tried to open the door, but then noticed there were only girls in that cabin. So he passed on. Next cabin. This too was full of girls.
"Strange…"
Next cabin. All girls. Naruto became worried. Next cabin. All girls. Naruto began to sweat. Next. Girls. Next. Girls. Girls. Girls. Girls… When the occupant of the cabins opened the doors to see who the person who screamed was, they couldn't see anything in the corridor, because Naruto had hid in a vacant cabin. And started to say…
"This is not happening… This is not happening… This is not happening…"
End of the flashback
"Ok… Calm down and think… It's impossible that they decided to send me in an all girl's school, right? … … WHO AM I KIDDING? I'M DAMNED! I'M…"
"Excuse me… Are these seats vacant?"
"!"
Naruto turned around, in terror. Then, in awe. In front of him was a girl. A beautiful one, indeed. Almost crystal eyes… Long silk hairs tied in a ponytail… She was wearing the same uniform as the other girls. Naruto had to admit… He'd found someone even prettier than Sakura-chan. Then, he recomposed himself, noticing that the girl was waiting for an answer.
"Ehm… Yes."
"Merci."
The girl closed the door, and seated in front of Naruto. She took off her hat, which was shadowing her face. Naruto was now flushing, staring at her. The sunlight made her look… Like… Like… Like Naruto didn't know what, but something damned beautiful. The girl moved a hand to move a lock of hair from her face, and Naruto awakened from the trance, and shook his head, and began to look outside the window.
"Well, I haven't introduced my self yet. My name's Fleur Delacour. Enchantè."
"Fleur…" 'Ah, yeah. They say first the name and then the surname. Glad that Mr Dumbledore used magic to make me able to understand other languages…' "I'm Naruto Uzumaki. My pleasure."
"Strange name… Are you Asiatic?"
"Ehm… Actually, I'm from the elemental countries…"
"The elemental… I remember the newspapers saying something about it… Are you… A transfer student or something like that?"
"Actually… Yes. I'm a ninja… And this is my first year studying magic…"
"A ninja? Intèressant."
"Ehm… And you? Where are you from?"
"I'm from France. But I was visiting my aunt in London, so I took the train from the London Station. The school too is in France. It's the first year for me too, and… Oh!"
"What?"
"We're going under."
"Under?"
"Look out the window."
Naruto looked out. He noticed that the rails of the train… Were going underwater. They were on the cost. Naruto quickly closed the window, and suddenly the train went underwater. The surrounding was… Fabulous. The train was proceeding underwater at lower speed, so that the passengers could see the scenario. Various fishes were swimming around the train, and the blue water was like hypnotic.
"Wow… Where are we?"
"We're in the Channel. France and England are separated by this 1Km long strait. We have to go underwater to not get ourselves noticed by the Muggles."
"Muggles?"
"People who can't use magic."
"Ah. I see. But it's still incredible… If only I could make a photo…"
"A photo?"
Fleur took out of her pocket her wand. It was a wand nine inches long, light brown coloured. The girl moved it in front of the window, and then said…
"Imago."
A light enveloped the window, and suddenly, a little object fell to the floor. Naruto took it. It was a photo of the sea out of the window, with all the fishes moving.
"Wow! With magic you can do even these sorts of things!"
"It's a very simple spell… Just move the wand in the air in front of you, and say Imago. The photo is what you were seeing at the moment of the spell."
"Uhm… Let's try, then."
Naruto took out his wand. Then, he noticed something. His wand was… Short. Very short. It was neither half that Fleur's one. He frowned, and then moved the wand in the air, and then said…
"Imago."
Suddenly, another light, and another photo fell to the ground. Naruto had actually done his first magic.
"WoW! I did it!"
"I told you that it was… But what's happening to your wand?"
"Uh?"
The wand in the hand of Naruto started to glow with purple light. Then the light blinded Naruto and Fleur, exploding. When the light faded, the wand… Had changed. Now it was longer. It was nine inches long, and the golden letter was different. Now it was no longer a "P", but a "C".
"Now… This is strange even for mages, right?"
"Actually… Oui."
"… Maybe it's because it contains the wings of a fairy…"
"A fairy? Mine contains a hair of a Veela…"
"A… Veela?"
"They're nymphs who live only in Bulgaria. This hair is from the head of my grandma. She was a Veela herself."
"Then… You're half Veela?"
"Yes."
"Wow. The Veela must be beautiful women… AH! EHM… I MEANT…"
"Oui. They are, indeed… Thanks for the compliment, though."
Naruto flushed and turned around. The sea was very interesting, after all. Fleur giggled. Naruto was like burning, and he could bet that soon or later his heart would make a hole in his chest, judging from the strength of the heart-beats. That was going to be a loooong trip.
"Well… Would you like to tell me about your countries?"
"… If it's of any interest for you…"
"Please."
"Ok… Well, my country is the Fire country. Almost each country has a hidden village, where…"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto talked about half an hour about the elemental countries and ninjas. He was even about to show her the Sexy no Jutsu, but then he remembered the time he showed it to Sakura, and the memory of the pain persuaded him to show her the Kage Bunshin, instead. Then it was her turn. Fleur talked about France and the rest of Europe. Then they began to talk about magic and spells. In the meanwhile the train had exited the sea, and was now proceeding trough the France. After the plains, they were now on the mountains.
"And so there are even Dragons?"
"Oui. In Romania. They're very dangerous. And… Oh!"
The train suddenly stopped. They were arrived, it seemed. Naruto and Fleur exited the cabin. Naruto could see only girls, girls, girls… He was so screwed up. They hurried outside, and they looked around. The train had stopped on the top of a mountain. Naruto went for his luggage, but he noticed that… It was gone.
"What the hell…"
"Naruto… My luggage is gone as well…"
"Yeah… But most of all…. Where the hell is the school!"
"Hey! Calm down! The school is arriving!"
"Uh?"
Naruto turned around. Behind him stood a girl. She had long silk hair, waist length, and violet eyes. She was 5cm higher than Fleur, 10cm higher than Naruto. She was holding her hat with one hand, and the other hand was placed on her right hip. She looked at Naruto, and opened her eyes wide. ( Note: She's identical to Azumi of Mirmo, if anyone know this manga. Get a look here, if you don't: http/ )
"Hey. What's up with you?"
"Oh my god…"
"Ah!" 'She has noticed I am a boy!'
"You're so ugly that you look like a boy… Poor girl…" Saying this she placed a hand on her cheek, closed her eyes, and turned her head in drama style.
Naruto fell anime style while Fleur sweatdropped. Naruto got back on his feet.
"I. Am. A boy."
"Eh?"
"I can't show you, but I am a boy. I'm not a girl looking like a boy."
"Oh, poor girl… You even unconsciously convinced yourself that you're really a boy… A bad looking one, indeed…"
A large vein popped on Naruto's forehead.
"I AM A BOOOOOOOOOOOY!"
All the crew around turned in the direction of Naruto, who wanted at the same time to rip apart the girl in front of her, and to sink into the ground. He placed a hand on his face and the other on his left hip. Fleur was blushing as well, lowering her hat on her face. The other girl was at least shocked. The crew turned around one more time and started to whisper. The girl started to mutter something.
"You-you-you're… Really a boy… No girl can yell so loud…"
"… You've finally convinced yourself…"
"EEEEEEK! PERVERT!"
"WHAT?"
"What are you doing here? This is a girl only school!"
"I KNOW! Well, I discovered it! I'm a transfer student from the elemental countries! My name's Naruto and I got assigned to this school without knowing!"
"Well, my name's Alex, I'm from Switzerland and I don't believe you! Pervert! Pervertpervertpervert!"
"WHAT? STUPID GIRL! I'M TELLING THE TRUTH!"
"DO YOU WANT A FIGHT, WHISKERS-FACE!"
"WHY NOT, PSYCHO-BITCH!"
"HOW YOU DARE … !"
"BE QUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIET!"
A yell filled the air, and Naruto quickly covered his ears. The one who screamed was no other than… Fleur. Naruto was stunned, while Alex had swirls in her eyes. Fleur recomposed herself, and coughed a little.
"Well... I'm Fleur. Sorry for the yell, but noises give me head-ache."
'But if you're even louder than me…' Naruto and Alex thought at the same time.
"Well… What were you saying about the school?"
"Ah, yes. The school is arriving."
"Arriving?"
"Yes. My mom studied here too, and well… Oh! Here it is!"
"Uh? …!"
Naruto and Fleur were in awe. In front of them… Well, in the air, suspended, was the school. Actually, the entire school was floating along with a piece of earth in the air, and an enormous chain was attached to it. Naruto looked down in the valley, and saw that the chain connected to the floor. It was an anchorage system. Suddenly, the school approached the top of the mountain, and a bridge made of light, shining like a rainbow, appeared, connecting the school and the mountain. The school was… An enormous palace, extended more in width and length than in height, surrounded by walls, and with an enormous wooden door. The higher place was an enormous clock tower, high at least ten floors.
"Oh Mon dieu… This is like Versailles!"
"Better. Actually, it's been built before it. Versailles was finished in the 1660, the school in the 1460."
"You're very informed…"
"Well… My mother hired the best private teacher for me… It's natural for a Kafkhe."
"Kafkhe? The famous industrial?"
'My god… She's so full of herself…'
Suddenly, the wooden door opened. Behind it stood a woman. She was dressed in a long purple dress, and a pair of leather boots of a darker shade of purple. She had short, silk, black hair, and black eyes. She was wearing a pair of large round glasses too, and she seemed to be very young.
"Welcome to Beauxbatons, students. All the students of the first year, please, come with me. The others wait here for the usual transfers."
All the first year students moved, walking on the rainbow bridge and trough the door. Right after the door was an enormous garden, with a big fountain with the statue of two lovers like enveloping each other, dropping water.
"First the introduction. I'm Miss Rose. Amy Rose. And before you begin to make jokes, I shall inform you that I'm the teacher of Charms and the assistant of the head-master, Madame Maxime."
And the giggles stopped even before they began.
"You should know that this school has been built by Katie Firewing and Kruz Mightytail. They were great friends, but at the same time, rivals. That's why we honour their memory and their rivalry dividing the students in two houses: the Phoenix and the Dragon one. Any questions, so far?"
"…."
"Very well. Now, follow me. We'll have the ritual of division, and then we'll have lunch. After, you'll be accompanied in your rooms. You'll find out that all your luggage is already in there."
The group entered the palace, and ended up in an enormous corridor. On the side of the corridor were various statues and portraits, most of them moving or even talking. In the end of the corridor was another wooden door. Miss Rose opened it, and they were in an enormous hall, with two incredibly long tables, with various vacant places. Naruto noticed that the girls on one table had the drawing of a little golden dragon on the left side of the chest, and the girls seated on the other table had a little golden phoenix. On the opposite side of the room, from the door, was a large table. Behind the table, various people.
'Those must be the other teachers and the head-master…'
There were other five people, behind the table: the first was a tall man dressed with an enormous black wizard robe and a high black hat, made of brown fur; he had a long black beard and penetrating dark eyes. The second one was a young man in his late twenties, dressed with a blue jacket on a white shirt; he had pale blonde hair and blue eyes. The third was an old woman dressed with a blue witch robe and a blue pointed witch hat; she had grey curly hair, and was like… Nervous, looking around every once and then. Then a man with tanned skin and black moustaches. He seemed to be around fifty, and was dressing a long Mexican poncho. Finally… There was a woman even bigger than Hagrid. She had red hair, and was high at least three meters; she was dressing a purple vest, similar to the one of Miss Amy Rose. Suddenly, the enormous woman got up. She was really enormous.
"Bienvenue, new students, and welcome to Beauxbatons. I'm the headmaster, Madame Maxime. Now, Miss Amy Rose has just told you about the two houses, n'est pas? Very well. Now, you will be divided in the two house
Madame Maxime took out her wand, and suddenly, a table appeared in the middle of the hall, with something leaned on it. The strange object seemed an enormous rosebud, big as a soccer ball.
"This is the 'Internal Bud'. Miss Amy Rose…"
"Now we will call you by name. When you hear your name, come here and touch the bud. You'll be examined and selected. Let's start… Katie Amerson?"
The girl was a black skinned one, with long curly hair shoulder length. She went to the bud and touched it. Suddenly, the bud opened, projecting a large cone of green light. In the cone were… Images. Images of her life till that moment, and various mixed noises and voices came out as well. She right after being born, playing with her childhood friends, embracing her grandpa… Then, suddenly, the bud closed again, and suddenly spurted out a golden seed, which fell on the uniform of Katie. Then the seed opened in a beam of light, and morphed into the drawing of the Phoenix.
"Firewing."
The table of the Firewings exploded in claps and yells of joy, welcoming the new member. Miss Amy Rose called another name. This time the light was orange. While the students kept on being called, Naruto felt like something clenching his stomach… Like a bite. His life… How many good times and how much bad times had been in his life? The only happy times were when he ate ramen with Iruka-sensei, probably… And the worst times… Beatings… Spits… Curses… Naruto placed a hand on his stomach, like to feel if there really was something trying to rip off his stomach.
"Fleur Delacour."
Fleur got surprised by being called, but went to the bud. Naruto hoped to be in her same house. Fleur placed her hand on the bud. His colour was rose. In the cone was the image of her right after born, her father and mother playing with her in a garden, her grandma reading her a good-night story… Her grandma was still young looking, even if she had to be obviously old. A peculiarity of the Veela, Naruto thought… The bud spurted out another seed. Phoenix.
"Firewing."
Claps and yells. Naruto really hoped to be a Firewing too. Fleur was his only friend, till that moment. And he hoped the psycho-bitch to be a Mightytail. It was her turn.
"Alex Kafkhe."
"Here I am!"
'Geez… Please, a Mightytail!'
Alex touched cheerful the bud. The colour was emerald green. Alex right after born… Alex being accompanied to school with a limousine… Alex studying piano… Naruto was really bored. The typical rich girl, full of herself. But the he raised an eyebrow, noticing a small, almost invisible image in the corner of the cone. It was… Her, around eight year's old, holding a doll… With a sad look on her face. When Naruto tried to take a better look, the cone disappeared, and the bud spurted out a dragon.
"Mightytail."
Claps and yells. Alex seemed disappointed, at first, but then she smiled warmly and went to her table. Naruto tried to remember other details about the strange image… But after a few seconds he remembered that his wish has been granted. Alex a Mightytail! Hell yeah! Now… He was to hope about his seed. But… More important… What would be seen in the bud? The names kept on being called. Ra Inoki… Stephanie Tollcoat… Emily Underling…
"Naruto Uzumaki."
'Here we go…'
Naruto suddenly felt the looks of the entire hall on him, and whispers like "A boy?" "How could possibly a boy be in this school?" "What are those things on his face?" and a clear "Firewing… Firewing… Firewing…" Naruto went to the bud and moved a hand towards it… He hesitated a bit, then swallowed and firmly gripped the bud. The cone was… Red. Blood red. Various images. Images that Naruto knew too well. The biggest one was him in front of a large crew of people of various ages, crying with his back towards them. In another one he was being hit. In another one they tried to suffocate him. One little image showed him eating with Iruka sensei, and another one the battle with Mizuki. And the voices… The yells… The curses…
"You monster! Stay away from my children!"
"Go away!"
"Don't talk with him…"
"Naruto no baka! Don't invent stupid skills!"
"You killed my husband!"
"I can't play with you or my mama will punish me…"
"Die, demon fox!"
The bud closed. And a seed spurted out. It transformed once landed on Naruto's uniform… A Dragon.
"Mightytail."
Silence for a few seconds. Then more claps and yells. And a head hitting the table. Naruto sighed. Fortunately, in the school they didn't know about the demon fox. And the voices were too mixed up. They could only guess that he had a though life. Naruto seated in the only vacant place, between a long curly blonde haired girl and… Alex.
'Tsk… In her same house…'
'Tsk… In his same house…'
The two glared sparkling jolts at each other, and then turned around 'Umphing'. Fleur observed them from the other table, and sweatdropped. Two other girls obtained their seeds, and then Madame Maxime made the bud disappear.
"Very well, new students. Before you begin to eat, I want to introduce to you your teachers. Starting from your left: Mister Miska Kalashnikov, your teacher of History of Magic; Peter Moss, Herbology; Maria Esposito, Transfiguration; Pablo Elguerez, he will teach you how to fly, and he's the Quidditch Referee. For the Potions and Defence against the Dark Arts, you will meet them later. Now, bon appètit."
Madame Maxime swung her wand into the air, and suddenly the tables were full of all kinds of food: Roastbeef, French Fries, Chicken, Hamburger, Rice… Even Ramen! Naruto immediately started to eat, but with more 'Bon Tone'. He was in school full of girls, after all. Naruto turned his gaze towards the teachers. He saw that they were whispering, and reading a little their lips, he understood that they were talking about him. Suddenly, the professor of Herbology, Peter Moss, noticed his gaze, and smiled at him. At his table too, they were talking about him. Not all, though. He heard that all the students were divided by houses, and in couples of people.
'Couples! Oh, shit…'
In the meanwhile, at the table of the teachers…
"Madame Maxime… He's the boy, right?"
"Oui, Amy. He's him. Dumbledore told me that he had golden hair and azure eyes."
"Ah! Mister Dumbledore sent this message. The boy requested to go to Hogwarts for the Christmas holidays. Is it ok with you?"
"Oui, Amy. No problem."
"… Madame Maxime and what about his room? This year the students are an odd number… I suggest giving him a room only for him."
"This is exactly what Dumbledore prohibited for him. Did you see his cone?"
"… Yes…"
"That poor boy has suffered so much in these years, and he doesn't need more loneliness… N'est pas?"
"… I suppose… Then, what? I doubt there will be any girl who will willingly pair up with him…"
"That's why we're going to give him that room."
"That… Room? You mean the three bed room?"
"Yes. I've already found his perfect room-mates… Together they will compensate each other."
"Well… Please, tell me the name, so that I dispose with the transfer Charm."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I can't believe it…"
'Happy or angry? Happy or angry?'
"Well… It's not so bad…"
"Not only I'm not a Firewing, like my mother, my grandmother, my great-grandmother, my great-great-grandmother, etc…"
"I'm sure that your ascendance is a very interesting subject… For moles."
"The room is very large… There's no problem for space…"
"NOT ONLY THAT BUT I'M STUCK IN THE SAME ROOM WITH A PERVERT!"
"AND I'M STUCK IN THE SAME ROOM WITH A PSYCHO BITCH!"
"Please… Calm down…"
"AAAARGH! TRY TO GROPE MY ASS WHILE I SLEEP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND I'LL KILL YOU!"
"WHO DO YOU THINK I AM? THAT'S YOU THE PSYCHO WHO ACTS LIKE YOU'RE IN A DRAMA!"
"… BE QUIIIIIIIIIIIIET!"
Naruto and Alex where newly on the floor. Naruto ended up in the same room with Alex and Fleur. The room was very large. It was actually a house, with a large balcony, two bathrooms, a kitchen… But only one bedroom.
"Listen. We're going to stay like this for years, so I think we should make a compromise."
"Uhm… Ok. Then, don't make any 'funny acts' and don't call me psycho-bitch."
"I'M NOT A… … … Ok. And you will not call me pervert."
"Umph. Ok…"
"And I'll yell only when you two start to argue like that. Ok?"
"… Ok."
"Fine."
"Good. Now, let's free our owls."
"Oh, yeah! Hagrid bought it for me, so I don't know how it looks like."
Naruto took off the mantle. In the cage was a large brown owl, finally awake. He was looking at Naruto rotating his head every once and often.
"Woah… Should I really free it?"
"Don't worry. He'll find auto the way to the owl tower."
"Ok…"
Naruto opened the cage, and stretched an arm. The owl jumped on it, and Naruto took him out of the cage. The owl began to look around.
"Uhm… Maybe I should give him a name… Uh?"
Suddenly the owl flew away and around the room at amazing speed, sending wind gales for the entire room.
"Woah!"
"He's fast…"
"Eeeek! This wind mess my… My…"
"… What…"
"The…"
The wind had lifted the skirt of Alex, and the owl was now staring at her panties, hearts in his eyes. A large vein popped on the forehead of Naruto and Alex. Suddenly the owl faced the ground thanks to the punches of both the youngsters.
"EEEEEK! EVEN THE OWL IS A PERVERT! PERVERTPERVERTPERVERTPERVERT!"
"YOU ERO-BIRD! HAGRID, WHAT KIND OF PERVERTED BEAST HAVE YOU BOUGHT ME?"
"… I think we should be careful with this owl around…"
Continue…
In the next chapter…
Naruto's first magic lessons! Naruto for the first time is interested in studying something, and he even shows a particular attitude for a certain subject! Guess which one? Stay tuned!
